Yeppers.. One of the fellows here is a Linux guru (a real one) and I'm thinking very seriously of doing this at home. I have a desire to keep up with technologies and what with Kylix (Linux version of Delphi) and some of the other free database managers that run on top of Linux, I think there's a compelling reason to at least learn them so I can make informed decisions. I'm a sort of die-hard VFP fan but I'm not blind to what's going on around me. <g>
